The Artist Referral Program

BULLETAug 21, 20265 MIN READ

If you bring an artist to Bullet, you earn a cut of every trade on everything they launch. Not their first collection. Everything, forever, written on-chain where nobody can take it back. This article explains exactly what the cut is, how we figure out who brought whom, and how to join. Joining takes a wallet, an X account, and one signature. The form is at the bottom of this page.

What you earn

Every trade on a bonding curve carries a 10% fee. 7.5% goes to the creator, 2.5% to the platform. When the creator was referred, the platform splits its share down the middle with the referrer. That makes your cut 1.25% of every buy and every sell on that curve, paid in ETH.

It does not stop when the collection graduates. Once a curve fills and liquidity moves into the trading pool, the platform's share of the pool fees gets split with you the same way. A collection that keeps trading keeps paying you, years after the launch.

CURVE TRADES1.25% of every buy and sell while the collection is on its bonding curve. Half of the platform's 2.5% fee.
AFTER GRADUATIONHalf of the platform's share of pool trading fees, for as long as the collection trades.
EVERY LAUNCHA creator you referred is yours for everything they launch, not just the first collection.
ON-CHAIN
Your payout address is written into each launch by the contracts themselves. Earnings accrue to it on-chain per collection and are claimable any time. We cannot reroute them, and neither can anyone else.

How attribution works

When you join, you get a link like bullet.exchange/?ref=yourhandle. Anyone who lands on the site through it is tagged as yours. The tag lasts a year, survives cleared cookies through a backup copy, and follows them until it can be made permanent.

It becomes permanent at one of two moments, whichever comes first: when the creator connects their X account, or when they launch their first collection. From then on the answer to "who brought this person" is settled and never asked again. It sticks to their X identity, so switching wallets, clearing browsers, or relinking X later changes nothing.

  • First touch wins. If someone already arrived through another referrer's link, a later link does not displace it. Share early.
  • Organic creators stay organic. Someone who found Bullet on their own and then clicks your link later cannot be claimed. The question was already settled when they arrived.
  • No self-referral. Your own link on your own launches does nothing. The contracts reject it too.

Join the program

It is open to everyone. Connect a wallet, link your X account to it, and sign one message. The wallet you sign with becomes your payout address, your X handle becomes your link, and you can start sharing immediately. Once you're in, this card shows your link and live numbers: creators referred, collections launched, and what you've earned.

1Connect your wallet

Your wallet is where referral earnings are paid, so it comes first.

The X requirement is deliberate. Referring artists is public work, you do it by talking to people, and a real identity is what keeps the program from filling up with throwaway wallets pointing at themselves.

What actually works

The link is site-wide, so it does not matter where they land. Link your favorite collection, an article, the Creator Studio, whatever fits the conversation. The tag is set either way.

  • Talk to artists who already have an audience but no clean way to monetize it. The generator takes them from trait files to a launched collection in an afternoon.
  • Aim for creators who will launch more than once. You earn on their whole catalog, so one prolific artist beats ten one-shots.
  • Share your link before they sign up, not after. Attribution is first touch, and it locks the moment they connect X.
